A measure seeking to ensure that homeowners have access to records held by their homeowner’s association was given preliminary approval today by the House Local Government Committee.

House Bill 1237, sponsored by Rep. Angela Williams, D-Denver, clarifies which records are public and requires HOA’S to provide those records to homeowners.

Williams said today’s unanimous support of the measure is encouraging for both homeowners and HOA’s.

“This is a win-win piece of legislation with no opposition,” said Williams. “This is good for consumers and good for homeowners associations. Homeowners have a right to the records of their homeowners associations, and this bill provides clarity, transparency and efficiency to the governance of HOAs.”
